Consolidated financial statement of the Eurosystem as at 4 July 2025
9 July 2025
In the week ending 4 July 2025 the decrease of EUR 29.7 billion in gold and gold receivables (asset item 1) primarily reflected quarterly revaluation adjustments.
The net position of the Eurosystem in foreign currency (asset items 2 and 3 minus liability items 7, 8 and 9) fell by EUR 18.6 billion to EUR 324.0 billion. This change was due mainly to the effects of the quarterly revaluation of assets and liabilities.
The net balance of open market operations and standing facilities (asset item 5 minus liability items 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5 and 4) decreased by EUR 8.0 billion to -EUR 2,662.6 billion.
Base money (liability items 1, 2.1 and 2.2) increased by EUR 7.0 billion to EUR 4,437.2 billion.
The table below provides the detailed breakdown of securities held for monetary policy purposes (asset item 7.1) into the different portfolios. All debt securities held in these portfolios are accounted for at amortised cost.
